Item 8.01.

Other Events.

As previously disclosed, TuSimple Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) filed a notice with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). CFIUS is reviewing the 2017 acquisition of the U.S. business of TuSimple LLC by Tusimple (Cayman) Limited (the “2017 Transaction”), which was the Company’s name prior to its deregistration as a Cayman Islands exempted company and domestication as a corporation incorporated under the laws of Delaware. Further details regarding the 2017 Transaction are set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2021. The Company was recently informed that CFIUS initiated a 45-day investigation period in connection with its review of the 2017 Transaction. It is not uncommon for CFIUS to initiate the 45-day investigation period, and it does not indicate one way or the other whether CFIUS will eventually identify a national security concern with the 2017 Transaction. To date, CFIUS has not advised the Company of any determinations regarding the 2017 Transaction. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of the CFIUS review at this time, the Company continues to cooperate fully with CFIUS.
